Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) cream-style corn
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg until light and frothy, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add the melted butter and sour cream to the beaten egg. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the drained whole kernel corn and cream-style corn. Stir until evenly distributed.
  5. Sprinkle in the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix. Stir gently until just combined; a few small lumps are fine. Fold in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving 1/4 cup for the top.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese on top.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the edges pull away from the dish. The center should be set but slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the casserole to set properly.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a dense texture. Let ingredients come to room temperature for best results. For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños and use pepper jack cheese. For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free corn muffin mix. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and freeze well for up to 3 months.
